Overview
The Labeda Gripper Dynasty III Hockey Wheels, AKA D3, wheel features a new Dynasty core and uses a more advanced urethane. The Dynasty Core offers more flex allowing the wheel to flatten in turns, widening its surface area, providing maximum gripping power. The Dynasty continues to be a triple durometer urethane construction to get the right balance of grip and speed. The D3 uses the same advanced urethane as the Addiction wheel, just layered differently to really focus on grip. The best part about these Dynasty III wheels is that they are made right here in the USA by the family owned Labeda business!
- Ideal Playing Surface: Sport Court, Smooth Concrete
- Hardness Guidelines:
- 74A (X-Soft) = 170 lbs and below
- Hardness selection should be based on player weight and skating ability. A player can choose a wheel designated for a heavier skater if they have advanced skating skills to compress the wheel enough to grip. This will allow the player to maximize their speed.

Previous Feedback
Comments: The Labeda Dynasty III wheels came on my new Alkali skates. One wheel had a large flat spot before any use. After about 6 games I have now noticed that three of the other wheels have started splitting. The urethane is pulling off the hub. Its time to go back to my one year old Revision wheels.

Comments: I ordered these wheels and used them 3 times on a wood surface. I weigh 160lbs so there should not have been an issue. After 3 times using them they began to split, crack, and chunk. Labeda responded and claim that these wheels are NOT intended to be used on a wood surface. That should be removed from the description as an ideal playing surface. Labeda has offered to cover cost of wheels to replace them, so no complaints against Labeda. I'm sure these are great wheels on sport court. Just a description change that should be made by Inline Warehouse so nobody else runs into the same problems.
